JUST TRUST THIS MOMMA-GET IT!

This playset is amazing! Took a few days to get up, but it was worth it all! Very well built and the boys have been playing on it nonstop! Very sturdy quality!

Good but not great…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, it's a decent play-set for smaller yards. The towers support poles need to be as thick/as strong as the long swing bar is. That would give so much more integrity to the play-set. The support poles start to pinch when you tighten the bolts. NEED AN ANCHOR SYSTEM FOR THE SWING ARCH! This is a serious oversight. There is an anchor set of the tower but none for the swing arch. It will lift off the ground and shift fairly easily. The connection from the swing bar to the tower also needs to be more secure than just 2 bolts. I will probably end up welding it together as that is how it should be. Additionally, make the bolts for tower assembly all the same size. It's a pain to keep switching. Lastly, provide a few more ‘extra' pieces of hardware. Just a few things lifetime could do there to make this playground very good. All that being said, the kids are excited about it and will have fun.

I will never buy another brand of playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our playset for 3 years now. We just had a horrible storm come through over the weekend with winds over 100 mph that cause severe damage to our neighborhood. The storage units by our house where ripped apart, fences broken all over, garage doors pushed in, every single other playset in my neighborhood was destroyed and a trailer that was on the road within 20 feet of my playset was flipped entirely over but my playset still stands because my husband had it anchored down really well and it's obviously super sturdy. There was absolutely no damage done to it and it just needs to be tightened up a little bit. I am blown away by the quality. This is our second lifetime playset, left the other one at our old house when we moved, and I would recommend it to everyone! Great for all ages too!

Grand kids love it!

Follow the instructions. The YouTube video is helpful but doesn’t cover everything. Take your time with all the plastics pieces, they make the set look awesome, but do take time to set and then go back and tighten up. Extra set of hands for tightening all bolts down was helpful to let me keep working on assembly. My son and I put it together in about 9 hours.

American Made

Definitely a three man job if you want it to go easy. Two guys to hold parts in and together and the third person reading the directions and grabbing the parts to hand to the other two. If you have kids make sure to have grandma around to help with them while you’re putting it together. I’d say it’s a two day job as well. It seems to be well made and the directions are easy to ready ( thanks to it being American made).

Engineering Degree Required

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is butt cheeks to build. My husband and I are pretty handy, and we've built many furniture items before. My husband works on cars and we are big DIY-ers. We have a lot of tools and are no stranger to working on things and following instructions. We read the manual and watched the YouTube video (multiple times, over and over again) and we are going on 4 days building this behemoth. The parts are so finicky and it just sucks to build. Sometimes the YouTube video conflicts with the manual. For example the YouTube guy (from the official lifetime channel) will do something out of order from what the manual says. We've gotten to the point where we are on the very last step- securing the slide- and it won't go on. It does not fit. I don't know what to do. I'm so frustrated with the whole thing it's making me lose sleep. We just wanted something fun for our kids but this has been the worst thing I've ever had to build. What we have so far looks nice and I appreciate the color options. I just wish the build was a little more "fool proof" like IKEA builds for example. I hope we are able to get it built one day. My husband is talking about boarding up the slide portion. So I basically have a 2k swing set. 😭 I would not recommend this to a friend.

Lifetime Adventure Castle Playset

I purchased this Playset for my grandchildren approximately three months ago and they love it. I will say that the durability isn’t as well as I had hoped it would be. We had some wind and the swing bar was snapped off completely. I am hoping the company will send us a new bar being we have only had the Playset several months. My granddaughter was very upset when she found out it was broken. Hopefully it will be functional again soon.

Very happy

We are very happy with this set. Assembly wasn’t too bad(the slide was the worst). Quality seems to be great.

Fun for kids

Fun for the kids. Steps are tall, but managable. Some building steps are more difficult that they need to be.

Love the product but takes forever to put together

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my kids church. It took us 3 days to put together. The directions were a little confusing and video was not as plain as it should be.
